There is research that shows the more school a student misses, the harder it is for them to keep a job in the future. For each day a child misses, it takes 3 days to make it up! If your child is not sick, they should be at school. Please use the school calendar to schedule routine Dr. and dentist appointments during the breaks when possible. Be sure to call Ms. Shelley (619-656-2030) whenever your child will be absent. Also, consider asking her about an Independent Study Contract for days you miss. Your child will receive attendance credit.
Our average daily attendance goal is 96%. The first week of school, our average was 98.8%. Congratulations to the classrooms who met our goal!
All classrooms met the goal except for 1! That is a record!!! We had 13 classes with 100% attendance

At Olympic View, we follow a placement process that maximizes both positive academic and social experiences within the classroom. It is our commitment to place all children in an optimized learning environment where they will thrive and reach their fullest potential. Our goal is to create equitable and balanced classrooms environments that ensures the success of all students. The assignment of students to classes is a collective effort made by teachers and school administration. Decisions for class placement are student-based using the following criteria: gender ratio, range of academic levels, language proficiency, past interactions, teacher’s knowledge, and special needs of students. Due to the delicate nature of creating equitable classes, we will not make any classroom adjustments at this time.
If your child is placed in a combination class, please read THIS DOCUMENT
